Diphacinone

Type: Rodenticide

Mode of Action: Interfering with the blood-clotting process in rodents

Common Product Names: Ka-Put

What is it?

Diphacinone is a first-generation anticoagulant rodenticide. It is part of a group of chemicals known as indandiones. Diphacinone is highly effective against a wide range of rodent species, making it a preferred choice in both urban and rural pest management programs. Unlike some newer anticoagulants, Diphacinone often requires multiple feedings over several days for effectiveness, reducing the risk of secondary poisoning in non-target animals.

How does it work?

When rodents consume bait containing Diphacinone, the active ingredient disrupts their ability to recycle Vitamin K, which is necessary for blood clotting. Over time, usually within 5 to 7 days, the affected rodents suffer from internal bleeding. As the blood clotting process becomes impaired, even minor injuries can lead to fatal hemorrhages. This slow mode of action is crucial in ensuring that the rodents do not associate their symptoms with the bait, allowing for effective control of the population.

Benefits

  • Effective on a Wide Range of Rodent Species: Diphacinone is proven effective against various rodent pests, including rats and mice.
  • Reduced Risk of Secondary Poisoning: As a first-generation anticoagulant, it typically requires multiple feedings, which reduces the likelihood of non-target animals being affected by consuming poisoned rodents.
  • Long-lasting Residual Effect: The residual effect of Diphacinone ensures continued control of rodent populations over time, making it an excellent choice for long-term pest management programs.
  • Slow Action Minimizes Bait Shyness: The delayed onset of symptoms prevents rodents from associating the bait with illness, increasing the chances of all rodents consuming a lethal dose.
